Poached Beef Fillet

Ingredients

• 3 Carrots
• 3 stalks of celery
• 1 leek
• Salt
• a handful of parsley
• 1 kg beef fillet (pre-cut)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash, clean or peel the carrots, celery, and leek, then roughly dice half of each. Cut the other half into fine strips as garnish.

2. 2.

   Place the diced vegetables in a large pot with salted water. Add the trimmed parsley. Let it steep for about 10 minutes, skimming all aromatics from the broth with a slotted spoon. Place the beef fillet in the liquid and cover; poach at about 80°C for roughly 20 minutes. After 5-10 minutes add the vegetable strips.

3. 3.

   Remove the cooked meat from the broth, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into rounds. Arrange on a plate with the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with some of the cooking liquid.
